Volunteer Sexual Harassment Prevention Training

CCE Sexual Harassment Prevention Training for Volunteers

The purpose of this training is to set forth a common understanding about what is and what is not acceptable in the CCE environment. All volunteers are expected to:

1. Watch video
2. Sign off on the volunteer enrollment paperwork that you have viewed and understand the training.

If you believe that you have been subjected to sexual harassment, you are encouraged to complete this online form (also available as a downloadable form). Alternatively, you may contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Officer for the extension system in Extension Administration at Cornell:

Cornell Cooperative Extension Equal Opportunity Officer;

P 607-255-2135
C 607-351-5899
cce-biasconcerns@cornell.edu or sfd3@cornell.edu

You will not be retaliated against for filing a report.

If you are more comfortable reporting verbally or in another manner, your CCE Volunteer Program Coordinator on staff or designee should complete this form, provide you with a copy, and follow the CCE Association Volunteer Involvement Policy: Managing Volunteer Conflicts and Reports.

If the harassment involves unwanted physical touching, coerced physical confinement, or coerced sex acts, the conduct may constitute a crime. Contact the local police department.
